Well, actually, I’m not sure it’s everything. I’m doing a full update on my system, but not sure that will solve it.

OK, you may think you’ve patched, but you haven’t yet. Not clear how long it will take to fix it.

The Recovery
…that left out almost everybody.
It’s the worst since the Depression. For the same reasons. Because the same economic ignorami are in charge.
Climate Sensitivity
A new paper that indicates it’s probably much lower than the models think.
Coffee
Is it ruining your productivity?
In other words, that euphoric short-term state that you enter after drinking coffee is what non-habitual caffeine consumers are experiencing all of the time. The difference is that for coffee drinkers, the feeling doesn’t last. “Coming off caffeine reduces your cognitive performance and has a negative impact on your mood. The only way to get back to normal is to drink caffeine, and when you do drink it, you feel like it’s taking you to new heights,” Bradberry explained. “In reality, the caffeine is just taking your performance back to normal for a short period.”
See, for me, the thing is that I can’t even tell whether or not I’ve had any. I just drink it for medicinal purposes. In fact, even though I now drink two cups almost every morning, I don’t consider myself a “habitual” drinker, because that implies that it’s a habit. It really isn’t, for me. I sometimes forget to drink it.

Journalistic Amnesia
Over at Ricochet, I have some thoughts on the media’s devotion to the false narrative.
The Science Is Not Settled
Physics Today uncritically reports on Koonin’s WSJ piece.
This really should be a strike below the waterline of the “consensus.” It’s nice to see that APS has come to its senses.
Meanwhile, there was an extraordinary meeting in Bath. I’d have liked to have been there.
#GamerGate
Not being a gamer (and/or part of that community) I haven’t really been paying attention to this, but it appears to be pretty ugly. Unsurprisingly, it’s driven by leftist “journalists.”
Letters To Saul
A moving reading, from Dana Loesch.
Dissing The Moon
The sad thing about this article at The Onion is that it could almost be true.
